Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  • Measure out all your spices into a small bowl. Stir together. Place into an airtight container.

Notes

  • Storage: You can keep your homemade pumpkin pie spice for up to 3 years, as long as it's in an airtight container, stored in a cool dry place, and the spices you used were fresh. If they were open already when you made your blend, then expect your diy spice to last a little less. Remember you can always give it a sniff to check!
  • Adjust the ratios. You can always adjust the amounts of the spices to your liking. 
  • Use new spices. This will ensure your spice blend lasts as long as possible.
  • Give them a sniff. If your spices are not new, then give them a sniff to make sure they are still good. Remember no smell, or an off smell means it's time to throw it out.
  • Put in an airtight container. This will make sure they stay fresh as long as possible.
  • Allspice is it's own thing. It's not a blend of spices, it's actually comes from a berry. So make sure to get a jar of actual allspice to make the homemade pumpkin pie spice.
  • Adjust the amount. This recipe makes about 5 tablespoons, so you can double, triple, or half it if need be.
  • Usage: You can also use pumpkin pie spice in more than just pumpkin pie! I love stirring some into my morning oatmeal, or into my coffee. I love sprinkling some on my coffee grounds before it brews, so it's pumpkin flavored coffee! You could stir some into whipped cream for a whole new experience, even stir into your yogurt! The pumpkin possibilities are endless!
